Goals

1. Biggest goal: connect as a team.

We all did great work on our own projects in 2011. Now we need to snap these projects -- and ourselves -- into something bigger.

This means understanding each other's projects better and working as a team. And, more concretely: it means working on shared priorities (see below).

If all we do in Toronto is get better at this, we'll be in good shape.

2. Also: make early progress on shared 2012 goals.

As a tangible starting point, we want to produce five things *together* in Toronto:

  • a. Outline for generic hactivity kit all programs can use.
  • b. User stories + Q1 2012 roadmap for Popcornmaker.
  • c. Event plans for Hive, MoJo, Film, hactivity kit and popcornmaker built in.
  • d. Paper prototype and user stories for make.mozilla.org + program pages.
  • e. Plan for simple Mozilla badge offering for web makers.

We'll dedicate our mornings to this as a way to drive early progress on some of our team-wide 2012 goals.

3. And: work on your core projects, solidify individual goals.

We also want to make progress on all of our core projects, things like:

  • Clarifying user stories and roadmaps that guide your work.
  • Making sure others in the team understand -- and feedback -- on your work.
  • Honing the message and communications around your project.

With this in mind, afternoons are all open as working sessions available for you to schedule the people you need to work with most.

Shared Q1 2012 Goals

As context for the meeting, here are five Q1 2012 goals that the whole team should be thinking about:

  • a. Learning: Build a generic hacktivity kit that is useful for all of our programs.
  • b. Software: PopcornMaker 0.x = good enough for Mozilla workshops.
  • c. All programs running web making events, integrate Hacktivity Kit + PopcornMaker.
  • d. MVP version of make.mozilla.org live, basic pages for Hive, MoJo, Film.
  • e. Simple way to dogfood Mozilla badges + open badges with our programs.

These have been drawn by the bigger picture 2012 year long goals and used to frame to deliverables listed in item #2 above.

Logistics

Location: Everything is happening at the Mozilla Toronto office http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/contact.html#map-canada-toronto

Hotels

The Gladstone Hotel (http://www.gladstonehotel.com/hotel) Simply provide them with your name to check in. They will have a welcome package for you which will have a weekly metropass, among other delights.

Transportation

From the airport: you should take a taxi. For those of you who are on same flights or arrive at similar times, Mari will get in touch and make sure you look for each other and travel together.

To the airport: Mari will send you information about getting a car service to pick you up.

Within Toronto: in your welcome pack at the hotel, there is a weekly metropass for the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) - it's good on all buses, streetcars, and subways.

To and from the hotel and office (http://g.co/maps/2zsrz): You will take the 501 streetcar eastbound on Queen St. This means you'll need to leave the hotel and wait at the stop across the street (they come often in the morning. If one goes by and it's very full, you won't wait too long for another.). Ride the streetcar for about 10 minutes and get off at the stop called Spadina, take a right and walk 2 blocks and you'll get to Adelaide St. The office is at 366 Adelaide West, 5th floor (this walk should only take about 5 minutes). Your passcards will work on one door and there's a keycode for the other door (1472*).
